Huang Wudie was like a child who had done something wrong. She blushed in front of her mother, lowered her head and murmured: "Yes, I have it."
When Mrs. Huang saw her daughter admitting that she was pregnant with the young master Liu Qi's flesh and blood, she looked at Huang Wudie, who was wearing military uniform and armor. She felt angry and annoyed. What she was angry about was that living together without marriage was a very shameful thing at the time. It was annoying.
Since your daughter is already pregnant, why do you still need to wield swords and guns and lead soldiers? Don't you want a child? You already have one, so what else can you say? Just accept it.
"You, you... look at you wearing a helmet and armor, how could you not care about the child in your belly so much?" Mrs. Huang pointed at Huang Wudie's belly covered in a big red cloak, and said with anger.
As he spoke, he changed his tone and pointed at Huang Wudie's belly again, "Oh, you girl, you don't want to be a mother, and I still have to be a grandmother."
When Huang Wudie saw her mother angry at first, she was confused. Ever since she could remember, Huang Wudie had the impression that her mother always loved her daughter. She had never lost her temper like this today. When Mrs. Huang pointed at her
Huang Wudie understood, she pursed her lips and smiled. She couldn't help but hold Mrs. Huang's hand and walked towards the bedroom. As she walked, she said, "Mom, you misunderstood. It's not that I have a child in my belly. I mean that I have a child with you."
It matters."
"You girl..." Mrs. Huang also realized that she was so self-righteous that she didn't even listen to her daughter's explanation. As she was walking towards the bedroom, she suddenly stopped and asked doubtfully: "Die'er, that's not right. Remember years ago?"
You're here, it doesn't matter, why haven't you gotten pregnant for more than half a year?"
When Huang Wudie was asked this question by her mother, she blushed again. She didn't expect that her mother could ask such a private question. She secretly glanced at Mother Chen who was sprinkling water on the flowers and plants in the yard ten meters away, and pulled her mother up quickly.
He walked into the bedroom and closed the door behind his back.
When Mrs. Huang looked around the room, she could see some of Mr. Liu Qi's clothes and her daughter's belongings. Everything was self-evident. Her daughter and the prince had already slept together. No wonder the maids in the mansion called Mrs. Huang Wudie.
Well, what happened was that I didn't expect that the young man and woman would get along so well that they would end up in the same bedroom so quickly.
Seeing Mrs. Huang's surprised look, Huang Wudie pulled her mother to sit on the edge of the bed, and mustered up the courage to say: "Mom, I come here as usual every month, so I shouldn't be pregnant."
Mrs. Huang looked at her daughter's shy face, and her mind started to work. According to her daughter, the young master and her daughter had been sleeping together for several months. How could this handsome man and beautiful woman not get pregnant when they were together?
Huang Wudie knew that her mother was concerned about her pregnancy, so she said weakly: "Mom, please don't ask about this, okay?"
Mrs. Huang didn't care about her daughter's pleas. The poor daughter fell in love with the young master. If she hadn't become pregnant with a boy and a half girl, her daughter's status in the young master's house would be obvious in the future.
In the world of parents, Huang Wudie could never imagine what her mother was thinking. Mrs. Huang seemed to be concentrating with her eyes closed, and she started counting with her orchid fingers. After a moment, she opened her eyes and said anxiously: "Die'er, that's not right.
It stands to reason that you can get pregnant."
"Mother..." Huang Wudie's face turned red again. Knowing that she couldn't hide it from her mother, she got up and picked up a small wooden box from the small cabinet beside the bed, handed it to her mother, opened the lid, and felt a faint smell.
The fishy smell wafted out, and inside were some sun-dried fish bubbles. The wooden box containing the fish bubbles was also sprinkled with some talcum powder that acted as a desiccant. Looking at the big and long fish bubbles, it was estimated that they were taken from more than ten people.
A big herring or a big grass carp weighing 50 pounds.
Mrs. Huang looked at the fish bubbles in the wooden box in surprise and said, "Die'er, why are you hiding these fish bubbles?"
Now it was Huang Wudie's turn to be surprised and said: "Mom, don't you know what this fish bubble is used for?"
Mrs. Huang shook her head: "I really don't know."
Huang Wudie came close to Mrs. Huang's ear and whispered: "Mom, haven't you and your father used it before?"
Mrs. Huang was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't recognize her own daughter. She consciously looked at Huang Wudie's belly that was not swollen. She understood that the smooth fish soaking in the male and female chambers was acting as a contraceptive.
He said angrily: "You girl, you are neither old nor young, your mother never taught you, how did you learn these crooked ways?"
Huang Wudie tilted her head and said honestly: "Young Master said it."
Mrs. Huang was stunned again. Liu Qi, such a playboy, even used fish bubbles on his daughter. This was simply irresponsible behavior. She said angrily: "Die'er, don't say anything. Call the young master over quickly. I
Ask him something."
Seeing that her mother looked wrong, Huang Wudie hesitated for a moment and said, "Mom, don't blame the young master, okay? I'm with the young master, and I said I don't want to have any status."
Mrs. Huang was even more surprised and angry: "You stinky girl, you are a yellow-flowered girl who already lives in the same room with the young master. How can you not want a status? Even if you don't want a status, you still have to have a child? You
I don’t want children, and I still want to be a grandmother. Go and call the young master, I have to ask clearly, how can he be so heartless to my daughter, and don’t even want a child? Isn’t this bullying..."
"Yes." Huang Wudie murmured, how could she dare to disobey her mother? She quickly walked out of the bedroom and gave instructions to Mother Chen who was pruning branches. Mother Chen put down her tools and trotted to the county government to invite the young master Liu Qi to come over.
Liu Qi called Jiang Wan, Zhao Yun, Chen Wen, Chen Wu and other close associates to have lunch together in the restaurant next to the county hall's reception room to greet his master's wife, Mrs. Huang, and his junior brother Huang Xu, who had come from afar, and were waiting for Mrs. Huang to visit.
When I came back from the bedroom, I didn't expect Mother Chen to come and ask the young master to go to the bedroom to meet Mrs. Huang.
"Is it something important? Why don't you trouble Mother Chen to invite Mrs. Huang to have lunch first?" The dishes were already on the table, and Liu Qi didn't want to move.
Mother Chen said: "Mrs. Huang seems to be angry and asks the young master to come as soon as he comes."
Liu Qi suddenly felt that something was not right, and the generals in the court said they were sorry to accompany him, so he followed Mother Chen to the small courtyard in three steps and two steps at a time.
Entering the bedroom, Liu Qi saw Mrs. Huang's bluffing face and Huang Wudie's trembling look. He stepped forward and bowed, making a respectful gesture and said: "Master's wife has come all the way. I have ordered everyone from the county government to welcome Master. The meal has been prepared."
Ready, please move over, Master Madam."
Mrs. Huang snorted: "Sir, do you think my wife can eat this meal?"
Liu Qi felt that Mrs. Huang's face was ugly. Although she didn't know why Mrs. Huang was angry, she was mentally prepared to be criticized. After all, she slept with all her daughters without asking her parents' consent. This was really inappropriate.
A respectful gesture.
"Mrs., what's wrong with you? Why don't you want to eat? Are all your beloved generals waiting in the dining room to greet your mistress?" Liu Qi still endured it, with a respectful look on his face.
When Mrs. Huang saw that Liu Qi was not acting like a county chief, she calmed down her anger a little, but she was not forgiving. She slapped the wooden box containing the fish bubbles on the edge of the bed and asked sternly: "Young Master,
Please tell me clearly, why is this? What do you want to do to my daughter?"
Liu Qi looked at the wooden box and understood that nothing was hidden between Mrs. Huang and Huang Wudie. The most private topics were also disclosed to their future son-in-law. Liu Qi had to pretend to be innocent. Gu Zuo said he
, said: "Master, it's all my fault for being impulsive. I originally wanted to take some time to go to Xiangyang to propose marriage to you, but as a result, I was delayed due to numerous official duties."
Mrs. Huang softened her tone: "Well, the idea of proposing a marriage is quite reasonable. But why did you come up with this idea?" Mrs. Huang still felt strange and couldn't help but point to the fish bubble.
Little wooden box asked.
"This..." Liu Qi was at a loss for words. In ancient times, there was no concept of family planning, and there were no contraceptive products such as condoms. Liu Qi had only heard of the topic of how ancient women used contraception by chance before traveling through time, and Yupao became the topic.
It is a natural substitute for contraceptives. As for whether it is easy to use and comfortable when used, it is equivalent to whether the shoe fits or not. Only the person who wears the shoe knows.
If you want to explain to Mrs. Huang why she uses fish soaks with her daughter, you have to explain clearly why contraception is needed. The reason is very simple. This is not the open China before time travel, but a real feudal system.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, if a woman became pregnant before she got married, her reputation would be ruined! It’s not that Mrs. Huang didn’t understand such a simple truth. Mrs. Huang should have brought up such a very secretive topic to Liu Qi.
I was worried about my daughter's happiness and was momentarily confused.
In order to avoid causing misunderstanding to Mrs. Huang, Liu Qi carefully considered his words and said slowly: "Master's wife, I have always wanted to organize a beautiful wedding for my junior sister, but I have to ask my parents for permission. I am worried that if Die'er becomes pregnant, my parents will
If there are any complaints, I just want to take it a step back and wait for some time to report to my parents and master. Master will give us a title. No, Master, you are here."
"Mom, I didn't want the title, don't blame the young master." Huang Wudie was very sensitive when Liu Qi heard the word title. Huang Wudie was a smart woman, and she knew that she had mentioned the marriage proposal to the young master Liu Qi.
But there was no result. Now that Cai Mao and Huang Zhong have fallen out in person, how can we talk about this reputation without the orders of parents and the words of a matchmaker?
Mrs. Huang is not an unreasonable person. The marriage between Huang Wudie and Liu Qi is mixed with the grudges and grudges of the previous generation. The fact that Liu Qi has the idea of giving Huang Wudie a status proves that the young master Liu Qi is still a good person.
A kind and righteous person.
"Alas..." Mrs. Huang sighed helplessly, hugged Huang Wudie, stroked her daughter's hair, and said distressedly: "The situation has come to this, so let's let nature take its course. However, I am my nephew.
It’s fixed.”
As Mrs. Huang spoke, she secretly put away the small wooden box containing the long and large fish bubbles on the edge of the bed and hid it in her sleeve. She glanced at Liu Qi meaningfully and said: "Master, my daughter has been pampered since she was a child, and now she is committed to you."
, you can’t let her down.”
Liu Qi looked at Huang Wudie, who was dressed in military uniform and martial arts, and said with a pun: "I don't dare."
Huang Wudie felt funny when she saw Liu Qi's look. She came up and grabbed Liu Qi's ears and said harshly: "How dare you..."
"Oh, Miss Huang is bullying me, please help me, my wife, please help me." Liu Qi deliberately shouted for help.
"Die'er, stop making trouble, you girl, the young master is a magistrate, how can you be so arrogant and not apologize to the young master?" Mrs. Huang felt relieved when she saw the young couple loving each other, but when she thought of her daughter
Without status, I always feel a little awkward and guilty.
"There's no way to let me accompany you as a gift." Huang Wudie let go of Liu Qi's ear, but actually didn't twist it hard, stamped her foot, and instead blamed her mother: "Mom, why did you protect the eldest son? I want to protest, you
Preferring boys over girls."
"No matter how old or young you are, you dare to talk back to your mother." Mrs. Huang glared at Huang Wudie, her heart relaxed, and she stood up and said, "Sir, you have kept the soldiers waiting for a long time, so hurry up and have your meal."
